Hi Renee

I'm leaving for Mexico next Thursday !!! I'll be visiting with a friend for a few days and then have surgery with Dr. Huacuz on Tuesday the 17th.

I'm soooo excited. I have done all my research and I'm very confident that this is the right place for me.

hI aNDREA, i TOO first "looked" at going to Mexico... the doctors reputations and medical facilities are awesome... PLUS a GF of mine IS a physician and SHE went to MEXICO for her Face Lift, BOOB job and eye lift.... so that's a pretty good referral if you ask me...

HOWEVER! If you go to MEX and save $$$ the TLBC Toronto Doctors will do your 'after' fills but they charge $5000 so by the time you add in airfare, Mex medical bills, + the $5000 for Cdn aftercare... its really not much of a savings... In my humble opinion.

However, you could get HUBBY to make a vacation out of it everytime you need a "fill" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

Yeah but the total process took about 4 months as we applied from Canada. Then when the cheque finally came we had to wait another 6 weeks for the bank in Canada to clear the funds from Australia

my son and i had our bands done in mexico. i would check with your local doctor first. we saved by going to mexico we both were done for 15,000 canadian we get our fills local.

The Dr in St Albert happens to be my fill Dr but he exclusively does Dr. Cobourn and Dr. Mumford's patients. Nobody elses. I just had this discussion with him and he told me his reasons which I agree with. I don't know of any other fill Dr's in the Edmonton area,

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
